Constructive Chaos

Rules:

1. Standard sudoku:

Place the digits one through nine in every row column and region.

2. 10 sum lines:

Grey lines contain one or more contigous groupings of digits that sum to ten.

3. Chaos Construction:

Construct nine different regions that every row, column, and region has the digits one through nine once each. Each region will contain nine orthoganally connected cells.

4. Chess Sum cells:

A cell with a number in its top-left corner is a Chess Sums cell. The number in the top-left corner indicates the amount of Chess Sums satisfied by the digit in that cell. A digit in a Chess Sums cell gives one or more of the following:

-The sum of all digits that share its region and are a king's move away.

-The sum of all digits that share its region and are a knight's move away.

-The sum of all digits that share its region and are a bishop's move away.

**Note** A different region could separate a bishop's move.

Ex. A chess sum of "3" with a nine placed in the cell indicates there is three groupings of cells they are a kings move, bishops move, and a knights move away from the chess sum clue. Each group of cells sum to nine.

Um ... those are the most abbreviated rules I've ever read, ha ha. What are Chess Sums?
The rules are written up in the link. I'll update it later.

I don't know what I did wrong, but I could not make the clue in R5C3 work. Ignoring that I continued to a solution, that had the correct solution code.

@snookerfan are you on skunkworks or ctc discord? If so you can dm it_is_donatello_86
